How many Tolkien books do you have? Last time I was in a bookshop, there was an entire shelf devoted to this man ... it looked like 40 or so books. There must have been 20 volumes on the history of Middle Earth at least. Has anybody ever read any of these? I have a later edition of this set, 'Unfinished Tales'. It's very interesting and gives a lot of background information to The Lord of the Rings.

The reason for these questions is that I am thinking of buying some more of Tolkien's books soon... which ones do you recommend I read? I have already read the five main ones.
